Like many of Konrad's inks, this one doesn't sheen so much as glow:

Red is not my color, but muted reds like burgundy can be quite attractive and usable. I like the looks of this one. And I've never had a problem with KWZ ink. Thanks!

Thank you for giving us a look at this ink! Although the color is not one I gravitate towards, that shading... :wub: I may have to look closer at the KWZ inks.

I'll come up with something eventually.

KWZ sits on some sort of shading secret from the gods. I wrote a letter in IG Violet #2 last night and it has the exact same masterful shading quality.

That is a really lovely colour! I prefer my reds to be deeper/darker.

 

Also, what is the notebook that you're using?

I do, too, and this one certainly fits the bill! As for the notebook, it's a Kokuyo Idea Note notebook.

Excellent review as ever. Thanks. I am wondering if KWZ Maroon #1 is the same as KWZ Maroon?

Yes, they are the same. We only call it KWZi Maroon #1 once a Maroon #2 is out. To make it easy to differentiate.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
